bikes.

this year was big for me

i became a biker

save a couple snowy days in january

and a couple rainy ones in april

and that time i got hit by a car...

i rode my bike each day i went to work

in fact, most days i rode it to and from work

in the morning and afternoon

stopping at home for a little lunch

i don't particularly consider myself

a morning person

but i was my closest this year

a brisk ride in the morning

under trees with rust colored leaves in the fall

and fuzzy branches in the spring-

certainly does wake you up

and this is (was) my beauty!

he never officially had a name

but i'd like to think it was pierre

typically french

plus it was a 'peugot' brand

he was a little worse for wear by the end of the year

but he did get somewhat of a facelift

in the form of a new back wheel

did i tell you about that time i got hit by a car?

that was a fun thursday afternoon

but really, everyone came out ok

Now that I spent most of the year as a bike commuter

i find myself a complete convert.

it got to the point

where i didn't particularly want to go anywhere

if it wasn't somewhere i could go by bike.

a kind of opposite laziness.

we'll see if Montreal is bike friendly next year

or if i'm brave enough

to get on a bike 

when it's -5984 degrees C.

Any of you bikers? 

Send me a picture of your bike!
